Today is World AIDS Day. We have Red iPods at the Apple Store to fund badly needed HIV initiatives in poor countries. However it seems the color Red causes nearsightedness. We forget that HIV is still a plague in America. We forget that poor Americans without health care still die of "Old AIDS" complete with PCP pneumonia, Karpi Sarcoma and all those horrific retro opportunistic infections. We forget that there are poor children who are unknowingly born with HIV in the United States but do not get diagnosed until they become symptomatic.
